So you’re saying that nuclear has to be running 100% of the time at its highly expensive price per MWh (“base load”)

And that you can’t scale nuclear to provide all the power as the peaks are only needed rarely.

Which means that when other sources are cheaper (renewables), those must be banned to ensure nuclear gets paid more?
